We are planning to feed educated planaria to uneducated planaria in hopes to 
see their memory transfered for our Biology project.  We understood that 
planaria can survive in pond water for several weeks without being feed.  
Should we not put them in pond water because they will be full and not want to 
eat the other planaria?
